Using RSO/FECO to make higher potency edibles:

Using hash to make edibles and does decarbed hash preserve terpenes:

• Ginger snap cookies recipe – so many childhood memories
• More effective decarb with Ardent plus less smell – new Ardent Mini
• The Perfect Decarb with Shanel Lindsay episode – Shanel is the Ardent CEO
• Must decarb hash as you would any other plant material, ie. kief, shake, trim, buds

Would the sous vide for decarbing preserve terpenes:

• Anova – sous vide might preserve more terpenes than other methods but the whole process of making edibles is hard on volatile terps
